Must be an echo.

I have heard it from my neighbor too. He is an Iowa highway patrolman.

Is there a plastic cover over that one?

Nope! Just the tag itself inside the Leroy Cannon dealer frame pictured in my earlier post.

North Carolina is going with the flat plates, starting with the personalized ones. I just got one. It does look fake. They claim it reduces the cost. Maybe they'll lower our license plate fees.........Bwaaaaahaaaaahaaaaa!!!

Iowa just doubled the fees I pay on my VW's.
I put 3 of my cars into storage, to I would not have to pay the license fees. I was informed that if/when I took them back out of storage the fees would be doubled. From $10 to $20.
The ones I am keeping plates on, went from $10 to $16.

Russ, I can see that you've never lived in California. When I moved there quite a few years ago, I registered a fairly new Mercedes station wagon and an older Mercedes sedan, both diesels. In Illinois, any diesel vehicle was a flat fee of around $15 if I recall. I almost crapped my pants at the California DMV when the clerk told me it would be $1800 to register both cars!

My wifes SUV is over $250 a year to register.
Used to be in Iowa, any car over $25 years old was $10, and any truck over 25 was $25.
My son lives in Sandy Eggo. I hate to see what his 28 ft motor home costs to register.
And they wonder why people are fleeing California.

Why is the 59 chevy so much? Just get an antique about $50.00. If your in Kansas?
